Home and Abroad – travellers tales and fireside chats

North calling

The Lunar/solar eclipse witnessed from Arches National Park yesterday proved a highlight. Lots of people gathered in various spots to view the phenomenon helped by Park Rangers who handed out the special glasses to share. A party atmosphere with total strangers getting to know each other via this amazing celestial event up a mountain in blazing sunshine. We stayed beyond sunset to take in the stars in 96% darkness. Awesome again, whatever next ?
